Bonnington is a small, rural civil parish in the borough of Ashford in Kent, England. It comprises a compact cluster of houses, farms and country lanes set in the rolling Kentish countryside a short distance from the town of Ashford, and maintains a quiet, low‑density character with a small resident population.
Historically the area grew up around agriculture and a few surviving farmhouses and cottages hint at its long rural past; today farming still shapes the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns. Social life tends to revolve around parish activities, informal local gatherings and access to nearby footpaths and bridleways, offering a tranquil base within easy reach of Ashford’s services and transport links.
